Review: L'Oreal H.I.P. Kohl Eyeliner in Black....

I've had this little trinket,L'Oreal H.I.P. Kohl Eyeliner in Black, for about a month. I just wanted really get my thoughts together on it. Well, fortunately my thoughts are pretty short...because all you want to know is..."Should I buy one or not?" Right? That's what I'm thinking when I'm TRYING read thru a long review on a product....

So...

Positives:

-It's Black...like the intense black.But in order to get that intense you must be prepared for fall-out( I get on that later)

-The line it gave was good, smoky and velvety...oh.... It's good for that smokey eye look I'm sick of.:)

-Cute packaging!!!

-The selection of colors were gorgeous and tempting to snatch up but...

Negative:

-At my CVS and the nearest Walgreens they were $11.99...I mean there are MAC eyeshadows and liners at the CCO CHEAPER than that. WTH L'Oreal? Ya'll getting little too bossy for ya britches. Folks start raving..."Oh this HIP joint is the poor girl's MAC" and ya'll raise prices...geeezz...

-FALL-OUT!!! It's basically a loose powder on a stiff tip applicator...I don't know how to get it on with fall-out. I even dusted the thing off...still all over my cheek it went.

Consensus:

Don't buy it. Not for 11.99. Not even on a BOGO Free( like I did)....

Shopping My Stash: L'Oreal Wear Infinite Eye Shadow Quad in Catwalk Prowler...

Happy Monday!!! or lets make it a HAPPY MONDAY!! lol!!

I'm feeling goofy..got alot going on positive and negative, but I rather not spoil the day worrying...:)

Dug up this lovely Quad sans the top,L'Oreal Wear Infinite in Catwalk Prowler, up last night in an attempt to do some Shopping My Stash posts...Do you cousins enjoy these posts? I do them because money is so tight it makes no sense to spend money on makeup when I got so much at home. Do ya'll shop your stashes?


I never knew how to work this quad. You know, I think that's why I have alot of eye shadow. It looks good when I buy it but then I don't know how to use it when I get it home....lol!( People who know me don't EVEN believe that)

Great Pigmentation!! I mean, seriously, L'oreal...you don't make 'em like this anymore,man!!

N.O.T.D.: O.P.I. Feelin' Hot Hot Hot....

Can you say best hot pink on the freakin' planet???!!!!...

O.P.I Feelin Hot Hot Hot is so amazing...BUT it's thin in consistency and in order for me to get this ALMOST opaque look...THREE COATS...and could STILL see my nail underneath the color.

I still wuv it though, sometimes you love stuff even if it isn't perfect.

Review and Look: Tarte Spring Greening Reusable Straw Palette

Thanks to the lovely peeps at Tarte, I got to try the Spring Greening Reusable Straw Palette. I was immediately taken by its cuteness!!

But, I got seriously overwhelmed by the shades of eye colors. More than three colors in a palette gives me serious makeup anxiety. Just like putting on false lashes for a important evening out.:)....

I was browsing thru the Spring Sephora catalog for the 10 zillionth time and came across "directions" on how to wear the colors of the Spring Greening Palette...Really!!..they are in the latest Spring Sephora book!

No. Foundation. I did this look at like 10:00 pm...just playing around.

I did the peach color in the inner corners to the inner eye, then the lavender color from the inner eye out the outer corner. Then the best...the gold color under the lash line.

The colors were so-so pigmented, but in reading little more about the palette,I found out that they are mineral shadows and can be used wet. Great! I plan on rocking palette a bit more for the spring.

I didn't use the brush, it didn't look very stiff for me.

The lip glosses are a "thumbs down"( I'm actually wearing two of the colors in the upper picture) They just looks like clear gloss on me.

But, the fun part is that I plan on using the straw case as a makeup case this spring/summer in my straw bags. It just needs one thing....a mirror.
